Workshop: Writing a Letter to the Editor
September 27, 2020
Have you ever wanted to publish as a medical student? Or wanted to engage more with the academic literature than just passive reading? Or saw letters to the editor and opinion pieces written by other medical students, and wondered how did they manage to do it?
If some of those are things you thought about, please join us for a workshop which will demystify letters to the editor and opinion pieces.
CONSAMS
October 19, 2020
This an initiative will aim to promote awareness about clinical academia among medical students. However, thanks to the different societies coming together, we will do it on a national scale.
Our main activities will include online webinars organised by different societies to educate students about research, give them the confidence to approach academics for projects and some of the skills to conduct them. In the future we are hoping that CONSAMS will also provide a platform for collaborative research projects.
